Growing up in Spokane, Washington, Carri enjoyed hiking and skiing with her lively and large family.She began a successful career in the fashion industry at age sixteen working as a model, make-up artist and photographer.Her work allowed her to experience and live in a wide variety of countries and cultures which she discovered she passionately enjoyed and embraced.

Currently, Carri resides in Florida with her husband, David Keigley, and their four children, Lucas, Jordan, Grace, and Tristan. She and David own and operate Aluma designs, a “Green by Design” company that incorporates both of their interests in photography and art and which specializes in high-tech modern image display & signage solutions for the commercial, healthcare and hospitality markets. Drawing upon Alumna designs’ experience with acrylic, Carri developed a new product line for the company, Sneeze Guards, which are currently being used in many settings in an effort to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Since 2008, Carri has enjoyed serving and ministering to young women at a local pregnancy center where, in addition to counseling, she spends time photographing those who choose life and who wish to have special moments of their pregnancy captured photographically. Carri is eternally grateful for the many opportunities and experiences she has had in her life which she believes the Lord has allowed her to draw upon to more effectively connect with women in crisis. In her recently published book, Life Connected by the Vine, Carri shares seven impactful stories of her work with women in crisis. In these stories, she shares how God worked in miraculous ways to connect her to these women and how during the time they shared, God provided hope, love and healing for both the women and herself. Carri feels these connections were nothing less than divine appointments.

Carri’s hope is that women in crisis will have the opportunity to read at least one chapter of her book while waiting for counseling or the results of a pregnancy test. Her prayer is that through the power of the Holy Spirit, the women reading her book will choose life for their baby and Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
